That said, once you get one use the SIM slot removal tool that comes in the box to remove the SIM tray. No, put a microSD card next to it and slide it back into your phone. Instantly adding another 64GB, 128GB or even 256GB of storage in seconds.

Samsung EVO+ 64GB MicroSD Card

Samsung EVO+ 64GB MicroSD Card

A few years ago microSD cards were very expensive. That isn't the case anymore, and we have some for under $25. Our first recommendation is 64GB. It's not too much, but not so low that you'll end up buying a bigger one later. Not to mention doubles the LG V30 storage to 128GB.

Keep in mind the actual available space will be less after formatting, apps, photos, and the OS taking space on your device.

We recommend only getting a card that is "Class 10" or says "UHS-1 or UHS-II" if you want the best performance. Class 10 is visualized by a small circle with a 10 printed inside it right on the card. Our image above shows the "U" branding for UHS. In 2017 most should say that or the new "A1" standard.

Samsung's 64GB EVO+ Class 10 card is a good place to start. It delivers better performance and more storage at a wallet-friendly price point.

If you do some research, you can find an excellent card like this Samsung 64GB microSD for only $20. In stores they're often around $75, so buy it online.
